Please tell us more about your PC hardware, disk size and partitions. As for the DVD, consider that you only have a few choices on disk capacities and most often the actual data recorded will be less than the disk could hold. This is very normal. DO consider than downloading large iso files can sometime fail with corrupted data.

Thank You,

in virtualbox was much simplier… im a total n00b in doing this

I found a suggestion that the kernel load option **acpi_osi=Linux **should be added to your selected openSUSE kernel boot options in your menu.lst file read and used by grub. Of course, it must install before you could add this option. I see a suggestion to download an Ethernet Linux driver file from here:

Atheros Communications

But you would try the existing one first to see if it might work for you. With these two exceptions, it seems that it is supposed to work with Linux.

Thank You,

Are you aware of the differences in how different people say how big a
gigabyte is? Some say it is 10⁹, while some say it is 2³⁰. I suggest you
figure out those two numbers before talking about different DVD sizes :slight_smile:

In other words:

You need a standard 4.7 GB DVD, aka 4.4GiB, to burn the openSUSE 4.2 GB,
aka 4.0 GiB, DVD image.
